Ninja Turtles Games vs. Transformers Games: '80s Edition

It's a totally '80s dream match! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. the Transformers! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows shelled its way onto game consoles this week, which makes now a better time than ever to consider that age old question: "Which radical '80s franchise has the best games?"

The worst thing to ever happen to them: Michael Bay

This battle wasn't even close for the boys in green. There've been so, so many great Ninja Turtles games over the years that it's tough for other multimedia franchises to compete. With their constant reinvention, and with the constant release of new TMNT cartoons, it's clear that the Turtles are timeless heroes in a half-shell... although that's not to say that Transformers aren't pretty damn sweet as well — it's just that the Turtles have better games. Sorry, Prime!
